How long do you wait for nonresponders?

Okay, you've sent out your request for communication. Or an open communication letter. And you've patiently waited for a response.

Many folks decide to ignore unresponsive matches, and let them languish at the bottom of their list of matches. It doesn't seem like a bad strategy.

Others like to nudge or close unresponsive matches.

If you want to take action with an unresponsive match, how long should you wait?

My rule of thumb - sometimes "normal" women can take up to a week to respond. After that... there's usually something wrong with her level of commitment at that time.

So... be patient.

Oh, and for guys who close unresponsive matches? Don't stress out. If you've got an attractive profile, women will ask you to reopen the match when they're ready. I usually get 1-2 of these requests monthly - and only average 1-2 new matches a week.
